You’re a child, you see a piece of art that changes everything. Where are you, what are you looking at, and what effect did it have?
"There’s no single artwork, but I was obsessed with early Disney movies. My mum would have Disney movie marathons as my ‘babysitter’ when I went to her work after school. I think that Disney was my first inspiration, as I used to regularly draw my favourite characters. I believe that’s where I began my observational skills, along with igniting my own imagination."
